It looks like an odometer, I know, BUT IT'S NOT. These are irreplaceable lives, every single one of them.
May they rest in peace and rise in glory. May those who love them find comfort and healing.

Amen. Thanks for taking note, Paul.
Prayers ascending!

We don't treat our indigenous peoples very well but we allow them to die for us all.

An extremely high percentage of First Nations citizens are veterans, living out the warrior tradition in a new setting, one that does not treat them well.
